Hreflang for over 200 countries

[TTLO]

Hi all,

Working on implementing hreflangs on a site, but the client has presence in over 200 countries. Does it mean we have to implement over 200 Hrelfangs?

Thanks,

Asad

No, it doesn't matter how many countries you have a business presence in. How many of these does the client have localized pages/websites for?

It really depends on how many different sitest that are basically the same they have and in how many languages these pages are available. So if Site A is available in the UK and also in Germany then you would have HREFLang tags to these pages. In addition to that also look into adding the href lang tags to your sitemaps.

Thanks guys,

The client has presence in over 200 countries? Does it mean the client should implement 200 lines of hreflangs? The sitemap route appears to be ideal in that case.

Thanks,

Asad
